Hello!

The 559mm x 18mm designation denotes a 'standard' 26" diameter wheel for a modern mountain bike or cruiser. The 18mm measurement is the width of the rim.

Any standard replacement wheel set will suffice; the more important factor is matching the rear hub to your existing drive train.

How old is the bike, and how many sprockets do you have on the rear wheel?

Thanks!

Alan
